As Edinburghs icon site it is a must see. Step back over 500 years and be amazed at the building work. A great insight to what life might have been like. Well worth the entry fee Full review by Kenny100653

Xiaomeng: You may have used a site not approved by the Castle's website. If the day you visit is rainy and you have booked admission, you will not want to visit an attraction that is mostly outdoors.

There is no charge, and you can enjoy a full day indoors learning about Scottish history.
